As these entries are intended for sub-region pages and referencing attractions on city and park pages, suggest adding parameters near and in. Which if they exist will create the text in location1 near location2, and when these locations exist as page make the locations wikilinks. --Traveler100 (talk) 09:07, 10 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

I don't understand. Could you give an example? --Alexander (talk) 09:18, 10 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
OK, so that's an adjustment of the template in order to cover individual attractions. Two comments from my side. First, it would make sense to use separate templates for cities and attractions because those are two very different entities. We never know what kind of bot changes will be needed in the future, so we better keep these things distinct.
Second, I also started with a template that fixed the city name in the beginning of the description. Later I realized that this does not give us enough flexibility. This, of course, depends on the language and may not be an issue in English, but in Russian this certainly does not work. Many of the descriptions sound much better when they do not start with the city name. --Alexander (talk) 09:52, 10 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
My proposal is to only use this template in bottom level regions to list the main attractions (in the See section) of that region. Those sights should be detailed listings in the city pages being linked to in the template. --Traveler100 (talk) 10:06, 10 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
And not use it for the list of cities and "other destinations"? Then just give it a different name. "Cityitem" is confusing. --Alexander (talk) 10:11, 10 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
Sure, just thought it was for items listed on city page. But open to any other suggestions for a name. But first wait and see if other think this is a good idea or not. --Traveler100 (talk) 10:13, 10 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
